Bah! I just wanted him to play off half forward, but if he was going to play deep forward I wanted him to have longer midfield rotations.
I just wanted someone kicking the ball long and straight into the forward line, instead of Kirky's 20 metre floaters.
I'll never forgive you for not getting to that reserves match and stopping that butcher, baker or candlestick maker buggering up his knee.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

If you had taught him how to fight, like you always said you would, he would not have got tossed around by the butcher/baker/candlestick maker.Comment

I liked Nick Davis. He could play and he was his own man. Didn't fit into the system in the end, but so what. How is the irony of certain people on this thread saying he had no sense of humour. Swish.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

Spot on Stell! It stuns me that so many on here still don't give Dicky the credit he so rightly deserves for 2005I disagree; someone has to get the ball to him, but he has to execute.
Judd and Ablett are an interesting comparison in this instance, I assume you are saying that because they are midfielders that can win the ball? Keep in mind that 3 of the 4 came from stoppages- of those 3 I think you could say 2 the stoppage would be credited to Davo, and the other 1 was very similar to Judd breaking from a pack after getting a quick handball?
Hit the nail on the head there Deadly.
To try and answer your question Primmy, my daughter works in Venue services at the SCG and has a little bit to do with AFLNSW, Roos and the academy. Dickie does work for the academy in some coaching capacity but isn't based at the SCG. She's not 100% sure but thinks he is based at Narrabeen or somewhere around there.Comment

THANK you Jewels, a bit of sense at last. Much appreciated. I seem to remember Narrabeen in the dim (shutup) recesses of my mind as well.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

I tried my best, but I think there's one thing that we've all learnt about Nick over the years; he's a lover, not a fighter.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline

I think he is still playing with Balmain this year isn't he? ... can't be far from there back onto the Swan's list ... I suppose that will all depend on his time constraints working as a racehorse strapperComment

Maybe Rodney Eade could offer him a contract with the Dogs? It worked for one wayward Sydney forward... he could be the cautionary tale for Veszpremi, this is what happens if you don't work hard enough kind of thing...Comment
